instructions
1
Prepare the ingredients:
Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the stems of the shishito peppers; cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Roughly chop the lettuce. Halve the tomatoes. Roughly chop the piquante peppers. Combine in a large bowl.
2
Cook the chicken & shishito peppers:
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; place in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and the Italian seasoning. Toss to coat. In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken and shishito pepper pieces in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until the peppers are softened and the chicken is browned and cooked through. Turn off the heat.
3
Make the dressing:
Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the pesto and fromage blanc. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

Make the salad & serve your dish:
